Stoil Vasilev spent eight years inside SumUp working across fundraising, finance, and operations before becoming a Venture Partner at Eleven Ventures, and he focuses on helping founders with the specifics of raising money, from financial modeling to investor selection, while pushing the idea that CEE's payments landscape is more interesting than people give it credit for. He's also open about how hard fundraising can be, sharing that Paypercut's raise took over 130 investor conversations and 300 calls, and he describes his own motivation as wanting to make business feel more authentic.
